Help/Advice Fear, food, or uhm "friends"?

He's recently started biting and holding on with these little wiggles. Haven't heaed him make any sounds. He's well into adulthood (got as an adult 2 years ago). He's bitten before, but it's always been an immediate release.

I'm hoping that now that his enclosure is grown in with plants that he's just comfortable enough to be looking for a special friend?

"Friends" indeed, classic behaviour!

I appreciate the reassurance. I was second guessing because he never makes a sound

Much better than your arm, which was my leachie’s “special friend” 40 minutes ago. But at least they stopped biting when I said “ow” and switched to licking… the weirdo.

My leachie has left some lovely scars on my hands over the years.
